Pilots interested in “leveling up” their skills or earning additional ratings can participate in several intermediate and advanced clinics hosted by Torrey.
Paragliding is a constant learning experience. Â It takes a few days to learn, but a lifetime to master. Â Your novice and intermediate certifications are just the beginning of lifelong education. Next, comes more advanced ratings, more technical flying locations, additional skills which require more precision, patience, and knowledge to acquire. Â Maybe you’d like to teach, learn to fly tandems, get into acro or cross-country flying… or maybe you just want to feel more comfortable at your local site. Â We offer 30-40 clinics per year to help you achieve your piloting goals.
ADVANCED RATING CLINICS
While you need a USHPA P3 or H4 rating to fly at Torrey, we can offer specialized instruction to help you reach your USHPA (P3 (Intermediate) and P4 (Advanced) certification. Normally these are 1-2 day long clinic and can be scheduled any time of the year with a bit of notice.  Please call or email to schedule your advanced clinic with one of our instructors.
